About This HotelPenina Hotel & Golf Resort
Penina holds a special place in Algarve golf history as the region's first 18-hole course, designed by Sir Henry Cotton and sitting right on the first tee of the hotel itself. It's a flat but genuinely challenging parkland layout, with deep bunkers and water that demand accuracy over distance. The hotel carries a grand, traditional, almost colonial-style elegance that's rare among the area's more modern resorts, and it suits golfers who want to play a genuine piece of Algarve golfing history rather than the newest championship design.
